Transparency, through the disclosure of royalty payments and their distribution,
will reshape the dynamics of democracy at a municipal level impacting the
social environment for mine/exploration sites. The way in which mining and

Seminar Overview
Regulators and enforcement authorities around the world are increasingly
prosecuting corruption and imposing sanctions that can include disgorgement
of profits, fines, disbarment, and prison. As a result, company boards and
management are becoming increasingly aware of the need to assess and
mitigate corruption risk in potential M&A transactions, as well as potential
strategic alliances and similar relationships. This session will address how
using frameworks such as EITI and community stakeholder building can
complement a company’s anti-corruption and bribery policies by creating
cultures of transparency and local community commitment to the project.
